The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

by Mark Twain

Overview

This book has awesome illustrations that help make one of America's favorite novels about an adventurous boy come to life for young readers.
After Huck's troubles with adults, he ends up taking a long adventure rafting thru the Mississippi river along with his friend, Jim. They encounter many adventures and in the process of reading these adventures, we are given excellent insight on American culture during the 1800s. The choppy English can make the book a little difficult for children, but ultimately helps to better immerse you into Twain's tale.
Mark Twain's original bad boy, Tom Sawyer, makes brief appearances in this book which helps establish an ongoing continuity. As well as with this book, I also highly recommend: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
